| 15 MINUTE SUPER EASY FOIL PACKET FISH DINNERS IDEAS |
Ready for a grilling season ... or just looking for a quick-fix oven baked dinner? Consider 15-Minute Foil Packet Fish Dinners Ideas as a go-to meal, individually customized and assembled.
One of my favorite easiest and fastest ways to get dinner on-the-table in the minute is Foil Packet Fish Dinners Ideas.
Here's the beauty. Everyone in the family has its own preferences. And most of the time, they eat what is served. But when they can choose, smorgasbord-style, exactly what they want ... the stress is off the cook, which is usually me, and it's just plain fun. Benefit # 2, they are scalable, up or down, and are as easy to fix for 1 as it is for many.
These Foil Packet Fish Dinners Ideas can be easily baked in an oven as well as a grill. And ... they're just as tasty.
When you visit your fishmonger, choose a variety of fish, depending on the preferences. I usually choose a main dish fish like; salmon, cod, or whatever is freshest in the case, and then add some shellfish, like big shrimp, as an extra. I cut out an assortment of vegetables ahead of time and have it ready to go in the refrigerator. A perfect way to use vegetables you already have and make it fresh using seasonal choices. Frozen vegetables work great as well.
MY FAVORITE FOIL PACKET FISH DINNER: (FOR NOW)
Right now for me, my personal favorite Foil Packet Fish Dinner consists of a white fish (whichever is in season and fresh), 1 extra-small red potato sliced as thinly as possible, 2-inch pieces of asparagus, sliced diagonally, fresh thinly sliced lemons and green onions, and seasoned with a dash of dried thyme and dill (fresh if I have it), and salt and pepper. I put the potatoes on the bottom, a quick salt and pepper seasoning, vegetables are top, fish fillet is top of that, layered with lemon slices and green onion and topped with seasoning. Super super simple My guys ... they get pretty crazy with their combinations.
